Recreational boating telematics company Boat Fix announced the upgraded Boat Fix Pro app for boaters. Designed to give users a safer boater experience without the stress, the updated app includes current NOAA charts with navigational marks and depths and automatic weather warning pop-ups at the actual location of where the boat is located, including Small Craft Advisories, dense fog and severe thunderstorm with lightning advisories, and storm and hurricane warnings.
The Boat Fix Pro app also allows owners to access a remote overview check of the boat’s health on the Status page, and provides an anti-theft and unauthorized use protection with its geofenced security capabilities. Remote monitoring of battery voltage is accomplished with three separate alarms; ultra-low, low-, and now high-voltage, for critical issues that can lead to rapid degradation of battery life and ultimately fire and explosion.
Boaters can access safety checklists of US Coast Guard required equipment, receive reminders for when to replace safety equipment like flares and fire extinguishers, and even view a checklist prior to leaving the dock, and another upon the return.
“Every week, we focus on how Boat Fix can provide a better boating experience for the boat operator and their family,” says Alastair Crawford, founder of Boat Fix. “Backed by around-the-clock remote monitoring and GPS tracking and the industry’s first 24/7 Command & Control Center, users of our new app can have much needed peace of mind and focus on what is really important, having fun on the water while making sound safety decisions.”
Users monitor their boat’s status through the Boat Fix 24/7 Command & Control Center, with a contact button that immediately connects users to a team of advisors who answer calls live to help answer questions and diagnose issues on the water. A 24 hour mechanical helpline guarantees boaters have access to immediate assistance, while the Command & Control center also monitors unauthorized use and boat-theft prevention with direct lines to law enforcement.
